That "U.B." on the HI knives is not a kami mark. It stands for "Uncle Bill" Martino, the co-founder
of Himalayan Imports, and appears on most HI knives since he passed away in 2005.
To see the kami marks on the HI knives, we'd need photos of the other side of the blades.
It would also be helpful if you can give us the weights, which is a big consideration in choice of
a khukuri. Since these are individually hand-forged, even the same model and length can come
in different weights depending on which kami made it and what mood he was in that day.
Thanks,
